# Mashup Parody Trailers This Hobbit Trailer Parody Blends Tolkien with The Wolf of Wall Street By Angela Rajic | Published 2014-02-26 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hobbit-trailer-parody References: [mightymega](http://mightymega.com/2014/02/06/the-hobbit-the-wolf-of-wall-street-trailer-parody/) & [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/85891450) Video maker Richard Trammel created a hilarious Hobbit trailer parody by giving the film a raucous fake trailer in the style of the Wolf of Wall Street. The [epic fantasy’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-one-ring-rinse) trailer has been cleverly edited to match the trailer for the Oscar nominated movie The Wolf of Wall Street, with rapid cuts and Kanye West’s Black Skinhead playing over it. The trailer also has the repeated use of the word ‘dwarves’ that mimics the Wolf of Wall Street trailer’s use of ‘more.' This Hobbit trailer is a [hilarious send-up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switzerland-is-fake) of the epic quest and large cast of the film, cutting a fantasy film with the style of a modern dark comedy. The resulting fake trailer is an amusing tribute to both Tolkien and one of the most acclaimed films of 2013. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Mashup Parody Trailers:** Creating parody trailers by blending different film genres can lead to humorous and unique content. - **Clever Video Editing:** Cleverly editing movie trailers with rapid cuts and clever music choices can create engaging and entertaining content. - **Nostalgic Tributes:** Creating fake trailers that pay homage to beloved films can generate buzz and excitement among fans. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Film and Entertainment:** The film industry has the opportunity to create parody trailers to attract wider audiences and generate viral interest. - **Online Video Production:** Video production companies can specialize in creating mashup parody trailers to cater to the growing demand for unique and entertaining content. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Brands can leverage the trend of mashup parody trailers to create humorous and engaging promotional content that resonates with their target audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Action Anime Prequel Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-rohirrim.md) - [Toy Brick-Made Festive Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herding-home-for-the-holiday.md) - [Comedic Christmas Parodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad.md) - [Puzzle Animated Biopic Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piece-by-piece-trailer.md) - [Filmic Virtual Fitness Challenges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-fitness-challenge.md) - [Cinematic GenAI Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-knowit-alls.md) - [Spoof Sci-Fi Beer Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-x-rebel-moon.md) - [Fantasy Series Building Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shire-set.md) - [AI-Generated Christmas Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-posters.md)
